Super empowering, Anna! I feel, particularly as women, we doubt ourselves and want to be *absolutely certain* we can fulfil something to 100% before we start, but that just isn't realistic. Also love the Out There / Right Here visual - going to take that one with me.
You’re speaking to me, Anna! Have had things bouncing around my brain for years but fear of not being interesting enough, qualified or even relevant kept me for even taking the first step (or word I should say 😂)
I like your “out there/right here” definitely going to start pushing through and take my advice I’m always giving to others!
It’s so much easier to give other people advice than it is to take the same advice on board for ourselves. I hope I’ve given you the little shove you needed 🙃
Hi, Anna! Wow, what a great article, especially for a woman like me who's really pushing to make a sustainable income with my writing! It's exactly what I needed to hear, so thank you for sharing it! Excellent work!🖤❤️ Likewise, great to meet you, and I’m glad that you’re finding Substack to be so rewarding! 😊🧡📄
Likewise, if you’re interested in a fresh perspective on culture, lifestyle, and politics, I’d really appreciate it if you could please subscribe to and comment on Letters From the Castle 🏰🌙💜 And if you feel so inclined, you can also buy me a coffee here: https://ko-fi.com/thewallachiangirl
It took me way too many years to get serious and actually write something online.
As soon as I started, I felt great for taking a risk, but then when I started getting into a rhythm, I was subjected to a stalking/hacking campaign by some envious people and had to start again!
You will know far better than me, that it usually doesn't seem so at the time, but when you receive criticism and negativity for showing up online and 'confronting' others with your skills/experiences it is a very good sign that you are on the right path to offering value.
Thank you, Anna for reinforcing that we have to keep putting ourselves out there!

We do doubt ourselves don't we! I don't know if that ever fully goes away? But it's about pushing through, and quietening it over time.
Really good advice, thank you for sharing it.
Many people are afraid of failure, false hope or disappointment; so they never try anything new.
But in the end, not trying is just guaranteed failure.
Preach!

Absolutely! Turning that self doubt into FOMO for myself, productive gaslighting I guess 😂
